The Personal Safety System provides an
improved overall level of frontal crash
protection to front seat occupants and is
designed to help further reduce the risk of
airbag-related injuries. The system is able
to analyze different occupant conditions
and crash severity before activating the
appropriate safety devices to help better
protect a range of occupants in a variety
of frontal crash situations.
The Vehicle Personal Safety System
consists of:
•
Driver and passenger dual-stage airbag
supplemental restraints.
• Front seat outboard safety belts with
pretensioners, energy management
retractors and safety belt usage
sensors.
• Driver seat position sensor.
• Front passenger sensing system.
• Passenger airbag off and on indicator
lamp.
• Front crash severity sensors.
• Restraints control module with impact
and safing sensors.
• Restraint system warning light and
backup tone.
• The electrical wiring for the airbags,
crash sensors, safety belt
pretensioners, front safety belt usage
sensors, driver seat position sensor,
front passenger sensing system and
indicator lights. How Does the Personal Safety
System Work?
The Personal Safety System can adapt the
deployment strategy of the safety devices
according to crash severity and occupant
conditions. A collection of crash and
occupant sensors provides information to
the restraints control module. During a
crash, the restraints control module may
deploy the safety belt pretensioners, one
or both stages of the dual-stage airbags
based on crash severity and occupant
conditions.

GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNINGS
This battery pack shall only be
serviced by an authorized electric
vehicle technician. Improper handling
can result in personal injury or death. Your vehicle consists of various high
voltage components and wiring. All
high voltage cables are labeled and
covered with a solid orange covering or
orange striped tape. Do not touch these
components. Failure to follow this warning
could result in serious personal injury or
death. The high voltage battery system is a high
voltage, lightweight lithium-ion battery
which has two individual packs. One pack
is located in the rear cargo area behind the
second row seats, the other is located
underneath the vehicle. The high voltage
battery system uses an advanced active
liquid heating and cooling system to
regulate high voltage battery temperature
and help maximize the life of the high
voltage battery.
Note:
The high voltage battery does not
require regular service maintenance.
Note: The high voltage battery will
experience gradual capacity loss with time
and usage. This is normal.
CHARGING THE HIGH
VOLTAGE BATTERY WARNINGS
Do not use the 120 volt convenience
cord with an extension cord,
two-prong adapter, surge protector,
timer or other adapter. In Canada, do not use the 120 volt
convenience cord in commercial
garages. WARNINGS
This equipment has arcing or
sparking parts, do not expose to
flammable vapors. Position this
equipment at least 18 inches (80
millimeters) above the floor. The AC wall plug must fit firmly into
the AC outlet. If the connection feels
loose, worn or the AC outlet is
damaged, please have a qualified
electrician replace the AC outlet. Using a
convenience cord with a worn outlet may
cause burns, property damage and
increase the risk of electric shock. Charging Equipment
Your vehicle is equipped with a standard
120 volt convenience cord. Lift the load
floor carpet in the rear of your vehicle to
access the 120 volt convenience cord.
Note:
The 120 volt convenience cord allows
you to charge the high voltage battery using
a standard 120 volt household outlet. It
takes approximately 18 hours to completely
charge an empty battery using the standard
120 volt convenience cord.
We recommend upgrading to the optional
240 volt charging station for faster more
efficient charging.
Note: The electrical source must meet
certain requirements for the high-voltage
batteries to charge. The AC outlet must be
a three-prong 110-120 volt AC outlet that is
properly grounded, 15– 20 amps (or greater)
and in good condition. You must use a
dedicated line, which means you cannot
have other appliances connected to the
same circuit. If you do not use a dedicated
circuit, the circuit breaker could trip or open.
If you do not have a dedicated circuit,
contact a licensed professional electrician
for proper installation.

WARNING
Exposure to high voltage could result
in severe personal injury or death. A
trained service technician must
service high voltage components. Failure
to follow this warning could result in
serious personal injury. Your vehicle has various high voltage
components and wiring. All of the high
voltage power flows through specific wiring
assemblies. These are labeled accordingly
or are covered with a orange convolute
tube or orange stripe tape. Do not touch
any of the high voltage components. Regular Maintenance
Have your vehicle serviced regularly to help
maintain its roadworthiness and resale
value. There is a large network of Ford
authorized repairers that are there to help
